it's 2017, about time we started another broiler examining the implications of the undemocratic decision to leave the EU.

Unapologetically I start with a link, though the title says it all really; a Dutch woman has been told to leave the country after living here 24 years, giving birth to two English children, because EU spouses of English citizens have no right to live here. https://www.facebook.com/theguardian/posts/10154893130346323

The referendum result was about 50/50 and very few voters knew what was being offered.

The referendum result was about 52/48.

Had the 52 been to remain, politicians of all colours, except perhaps UKIP, would have been crowing about how decisive the result was, and even as I type this, would have been preparing to incorporate the next set of Euro diktats into UK law.

It was a 'fair way' off being 50/50 (1,000,000 votes is not to be sneezed at)

I take it you are suggesting that had the voters known what was on offer there would have been a much larger majority for Brexit - after all, the sky didn't fall in the day after the vote, Nissan are going to produce two new models in the UK, the good news just gets better and better. Shame the 'lies' told by the remainers influenced so many.

George ex nb Alton retired

I believe that Farage is on record saying that if the vote was as close as 52% staying, he would expect another referendum. Kept quiet when it was 52% to leave.

Yes I too read this as the headline made it seem shocking. Having read the detail though it is not as it seems, as you probably know. It is in fact a non story.

Whatever action,I , take will not make a jot of difference to what is destined for this great country of ours.

I'm sick and fed up of all the speculation. What ever party is in power, the majority of the population will not be happy. I doubt that we will actually leave the EU. I hope we do, and we become a prosperous and successful unit within the world. We have gone beyond dominance and control, we have lost the ability to defend ourselves,especially our out lying territories. Let's just hope that we can rebuild our armed forces to protect our shores from physical invaders or cyberspace infiltrators.

Why on Earth was it undemocratic?

Over a million more British citizens voted to leave the EU than voted to remain within it.

What is so difficult to comprehend about that?

Or are you one of those to whom money is God to the exclusion of a general quality of life, bosses who want the latest update to the trim on their four wheeled penis substitute or just someone who likes to deny the right to own for working class people for the sake of cheap, imported labour and Corporate profits?

I remember the question of Brexit coming up many years ago, way before the reality of it and when a certain number of people signed a petition which meant it had to be debated in The Commons.

A certain Carlt (where is he now, still handing out Fererro Rocher in the Macedonian Embassy or did his online ego swell to bursting point, very much like the public's distain at the EU?) seemed to delight in a failed attempt to ridicule the process but who's laughing now eh?

I think those that doth protest too much should grasp the meaning of democracy, thanks to Theresa May they will not reach Dictator status as they appear to want to be doing.

Broilers are hens. Back in the seventies I worked in a chicken processing factory. Eight week old birds.Every so often we had to deal with hens that were no longer capable of laying twice a day. These were broilers. Cook slowly otherwise they will be tough to eat.

I shall not hang around for a response, I've said my bit.

16 -18 year olds -those who will be most affected did not get a vote nor did EU citizens resident here.

Theresa May was not elected

we came here for an argument not abuse!

A man walks into an office.

Man: (Michael Palin) Ah. I'd like to have an argument, please.

Receptionist: Certainly sir. Have you been here before?

Man: No, this is my first time.

Receptionist: I see. Well, do you want to have the full argument, or were you thinking of taking a course?

Man: Well, what would be the cost?

Receptionist: Well, It's one pound for a five minute argument, but only eight pounds for a course of ten.

Man: Well, I think it's probably best if I start with the one and then see how it goes from there, okay?
